UNSPSC 39121614: Earth leakage circuit breakers

UNSPSC 39121614 Earth leakage circuit breakers is a Commodity code that spans protective electrical switching and disconnection devices. State and local governments procure circuit breakers—particularly vacuum and oil-immersed units rated 15 kV and above—for utility and water authority substations, pump stations, and correctional facility power distribution upgrades. The work includes removal and installation of existing breakers, replacement with new owner-furnished or contractor-supplied units, control panel fabrication and refurbishment incorporating breakers as integral components, and testing and preventative maintenance of breaker assemblies and switchgear in water treatment and wastewater systems. Issuing bodies span municipal utilities (Kissimmee Utility Authority, Lubbock Power & Light, City of Ocala), county water and wastewater departments (Hillsborough County, Broward County, Fairfax County), state correctional facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections), and regional water authorities. Recent procurement activity also includes school districts acquiring electrical supplies incorporating circuit protection devices and universities procuring three-winding transformers and related substation equipment.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in Florida and Texas, with recent activity also in Mississippi, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Virginia, Georgia, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Kissimmee Utility Authority's October 2026 IFB for 15 kV circuit breaker replacement at Marydia Substation (two bids received; $74,710 low bid; completion February 2017); Lubbock Power & Light's August 2026 RFP for three outdoor 15 kV vacuum circuit breakers with protective relays and testing at Erskine Substation (proposals due September 24, 2026); Fairfax County's May 2026 IFB for five-year switchgear testing and preventative maintenance contracts covering 600V–4160V breakers at eight wastewater facilities (bids due June 9, 2026); and Hillsborough County's August 2026 ITB for pump station control panels and enclosures incorporating 480/277 volt and 240/120 volt breaker configurations ($3.66 million estimated value over two years; bids due September 29, 2026). Broward County issued two overlapping solicitations for water and wastewater control panel fabrication and refurbishment (May 2026) with unit pricing for assembled breaker panels, annual pass-through allowances, and two-year initial terms with renewal options. Illinois Department of Corrections procured emergency air circuit breaker replacement at Dixon Correctional Center under small purchase procedures (July 2026; $26,520 not-to-exceed; one-year warranty). Work typically requires UL 508A certification, NEC and NFPA 70 compliance, prevailing wage in federally funded projects, and 24/7 emergency response availability with 2–48 hour mobilization windows.
